  My understanding is that Linux has won "serious market-share" in the
server/infrastructure area, but has had relatively limited adoption
"on the desktop".  For a brief period, though, I believe it was
actually beating out the Mac in that department (depending on whose
lies^W statistics you looked at).  I presume the Apple Collective
would qualify as "an army" in your estimation, but that didn't seem to
help the Mac any.  They needed an 21st-century Walkman for that.
